Well, just gotten back from Manchester Play Expo near the Trafford Centre (another fine year of retro games and Dark Souls II, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds & Assassin's Creed on PS4 were all playable too!) Whilst I was there, I bought some fine gems (immediately bought any From Software & Cavia games that I could see). I spoiled maybe a little too much, spoilers everywhere:

Hai guyz!

Sorry for the delay, I'm obviously a bit busy what with being all the way over on the other side of the world right now, but the votes have been counted and I am now ready to announce the winner of the Shenmue Dojo Member of the Month for December 2013.

Drum roll please...

QWERTY

...with a simply massive 476 votes in favour!

Thanks a lot guys, it really means a lot to me to win this award two months on the trot.

Here is a sample of a few of the votes that I received...

I would like to nominate QWERTY for member of the month. He has shown a consistent level of charm, wit and charisma that I can only wish to ever replicate. He is undoubtedly the saviour of this forum and I for one am truly thankful that he continues to grace us with his presence. Bravo, QWERTY.

QWERTY is without any hesitation the most alpha male person I have ever encountered on a forum. His posts exude power, intelligence and a charmingly rambunctious style that makes a simple beta like myself weep with envy. I love you.

Thanks, boys.

Big fear for me aswell that it could turn out to be shitty. But id take a shitty Shenmue 3 any day over no Shenmue 3. If atleast the story comes from Yu Suzuki we can still call it Shenmue.

I imagine announcing it is a lot better for him than all the rumors that would generate if he didn't.

Most people could tell the guy was gay the first time they heard him speak. I remember some girl back when I was at college was obsessed with him and pretty much everyone was shocked that she couldn't see how camp he was. Then again I don't think she was all there in the head as she was quite an odd girl.

I hope the guy is happy but there's no need to 'come out' to the public it just stinks of attention seeking. Someone said that he has a new show in a few weeks so he's obviously after a few viewers. I remember when Ricky Martin came out it was just a little before he had a new album. I appreciate people more when they don't feel the need to play the celebrity game to get more attention. You have someone like Kevin Spacey who is gay and he just keeps to himself and doesn't feel the need to make a Youtube video to tell his fans. When someone has to run to the press to announce this kind of private thing I can't help but think they're a little desperate for attention.

Looks in the vein of Xenoblade almost... big open world with a char running around in it. Doesnt look like encounters on the field will go to another combat screen, it might be in real time. This intrigues me.

Yeah saw some videos this morning of it, looks really good. I can't believe we are getting this many Tales games back to back. The PS3 is going out strong with Xillia 2, Chronicles HD, Persona 5 (playing 4 on vita and its so god damn fun) and now Tales of ZestyItalianDressing all being exclusives. From what I've read its supposed the first worldwide release of a Tales game. If sales continue to be strong this might be a turning point for us RPG fans in the US/EU as far as Namco is concerned. At the very least we might not have to worry about them getting localized or not any more.

Last year fans prevailed in a competition to get Ryo into Sega All Star Racing Transformed. We can now confirm his character is playable in the game. This time Ryo is racing with classic arcade cabinets like Outrun and Hang-on. Source: NeoGAF

What a jip. We ask for Hatsune Miku and they give us a fat ginger and some Japanese wannabe James Dean.

edit: oops wrong forum.

A cliffhanger ending for Shenmue 3. No Shenmue 4 in the near future.

I can't stand this anymore

I think alot of you are taking this too harshly. Id rather them make jokes like this, recognizing the fan base as rabid die hards then completely ignoring us. I LOL'ed hard at the Whale joke.

For those that don't want to do work:

I'm glad that they put in Shenmue, especially at such a high spot, but I still have to complain and say that Shenmue 2 is the better game.

When will it be Reyn's time?
